Warlord 5

by Chen Ran

  Next was a signature.

  Zero!

  Suddenly, Jin stopped crying and became abnormally calm. However, his tightly clenched fists were making gurgling sounds.

  Chapter 354 - Celebration (V)

  Outside the desolate wilderness, with the burning town as the background, Jin was alone. He became silent, one hand in his trouser pocket, the other facing the ground. With a clench of his five fingers, the earth started to shake. Su began to split under the will of Jin and followed Jin's orders to rise up a gigantic boulder that was nearly a hundred meters long, wide and ten meters tall.

  After the several tons of stones were moved to the side, a regular pit appeared on the ground. So King carried out the bodies of all the people in the town, one by one, and placed them neatly in his grave, which had been built for all the dead. When he placed the last Old Pete into the grave, the sun had already set. The light of day stretched the shadow of King's shadow, making it seem so lonely.

  "Farewell, Old Pete." With a wave of his hand, the stone that was placed beside him flew over and exploded into dust in the air. Then, with a "hualala" sound, it fell into the hole and was filled up.

  Jin took out a stone tablet from the ground and used his yellow finger to carve a line of words on it: Beaumont Cemetery.

  When he was done, Jean stuck the tombstone into the ground and, without looking back, pulled up the motorcycle and drove away. He drove toward the horizon as if he were chasing the horizon, the flames of hatred dancing in the lonely rider's eyes.

  Jean's teeth were about to shatter as he spat out the words: "Zero, I will kill you! Just as my lord said, all you bring with you is destruction! "

  The moment before nightfall, the convoy of zeros finally reached Julian Mountains. They had already informed the Asgard of their arrival in advance, so not long after the convoy stopped, the Yurian Mountains opened up a cave. There were red lights in the dark tunnels, showing the way to the Asgard. As the car pulled into the tunnel, Zero suddenly jumped out of the car and instantly entered battle mode.

  But then he relaxed.

  "What's wrong?" Su turned her head and asked curiously.

  Zero shook his head. "I'm a little nervous."

  Su laughed and said: "Then let's rest for a few days. There shouldn't be any more important missions to follow."

  Zero nodded and closed his eyes. He wasn't nervous, but he suddenly felt a cold killing intent. It was a killing intent directed at him personally. This meant that there was someone who hated him so much that they had a bad impression of him right now. He couldn't think of anyone who harbored such a deep hatred for him, but he didn't care. So far, Zero had forgotten how many enemies he had.

  When the convoy exited the tunnel and saw the Asgard's golden door, a strange feeling surfaced. It was like how a wanderer who had been away for a long time would feel when he returned to his hometown. He mocked himself: "Since when did you treat the Asgard as your own home?"

  But it wasn't just zero. Everyone else felt the same way. The Asgard possessed this kind of magic, allowing everyone who came to this city from the wilderness to feel a sense of belonging. There were many kinds of sense of belonging. It could be glory, status, money, wealth, or dignity. No matter which one it is, the Asgard can give it to you as long as you possess a value equivalent to it.

  It was because of this that the Asgard was able to absorb so many talents in the wilderness. It had its own special cohesiveness that other cities were unable to create.

  When the convoy crossed the steel bridge and the golden gate slowly opened, everyone was stunned.

  Behind the golden gates, two rows of angry knights appeared. Following the noble etiquette of the old era, they welcomed the return of the zeros with passionate music. Ahead of them on the road was Ben. Today, Ben was wearing an extremely luxurious uniform. It was the uniform of an Imperial Marshal. On his chest, there was a dazzling badge. Each badge represented the great contribution this old man had made to the city.

  Behind Ben were the high-ranking, high-ranking faces. The icy Valkyrie, the unsmiling War God Tyre, the Thunder God Sol who revealed a lazy smile, the cold and seductive Loki, the Badr who forever emitted a warm smile like the sun, as well as some other people that Su Yun did not know.

  These people were either nobles in the city council, or Iron-Blood Army like Callio, they were all people on the pyramid of Asgard. Normally, it would be hard for these people to even see one of them, but now, they all appeared at the entrance of Asgard, and the close to ten thousand commoners behind them welcomed the convoy.

  In the midst of the music, the team stopped and they jumped off the car. At this moment, Ben raised his hand. The founder and ruler of the Hall of Heroic Spirits made a gesture. At once the music of the honor guard and the cheers of the citizens died away like a miracle.

  Ben Xiangtong and the others went up to welcome them and said loudly to everyone, "All citizens of Asgard, let me introduce these few brave warriors to everyone. They are the outstanding warriors of the Doomhammer, the fearless warriors of our Asgard. They used their blood and their lives to create an opportunity for us to destroy an evil kingdom. It was them, who had desperately held up the king of the living corpse at the last moment. If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have won so cleanly and beautifully! "

  "However, there is a price to be paid for victory. Three warriors lie forever in a foreign land, and we can't even bring their bones back. However, their unyielding souls would forever live within the Hall of Heroic Spirits. The glorious personality that erupts in the face of evil will forever reflect the path we tread. The dead are dead, and as living beings we will bear greater responsibility. Together with these few returning brave warriors, we will create a bright future for humanity! " Ben shouted, and lifted his hand, which held zero, high up in the air. "Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

  The cheers were like a tide!

  The citizens' cheers and applause were getting louder and louder. At this time, the battle song rose again, and flowers and pigeons soared into the sky, causing the atmosphere of the entire Asgard to reach its peak.

  Amidst the cheers, Ben lowered his voice and said, "Welcome back, zero."

  Zero shook his head and laughed, "I thought you were an alcoholic, but I didn't expect your acting to be so good. However, in order to win over the hearts of those who have died in battle, be careful not to anger them. "

  Ben smiled and said, "You don't know about politics anymore. I'm doing what I have to do, and I've also helped you create the image of the brave. This way, I can help you guys get promoted and raise your pay so that you won't be criticized, understand? "

  "I think you think we don't have enough enemies." Su Bai said.

  Ben, on the other hand, was an experienced man and immediately understood what he was saying. Still smiling, he waved to the citizens and asked, "What's the matter?"

  "It's nothing, I think there are people who aren't willing for us to come back, so the passers-by on the way back specifically welcomed us once." Zero said as if nothing had happened.

  Ben's smile did not change, but his eyes shone with a sharp light, clearly angry. He sneered, "Then I want to see who has the guts to do so."

  His tone changed, and said again: "You don't need to care about this matter, Callio and I will handle it. In a while, all of you should go back and take a bath, change your clothes, and prepare to attend the celebration party for you tonight. "

  Chapter 355 - Night Dinner (I)

  Twelve Sovereigns' Halls, Ben's office. Outside the window, the Asgard's Sky Curtain had already simulated a sapphire blue night sky based on the central brain's calculations. The glittering stars filled the sky, forming a magnificent river.

  Ben shook the red wine in his arms and looked thoughtfully at the sky.

  With a "ding" sound from the elevator, Callio who was dressed in his military uniform walked in with big strides w
hile chewing on a cigar: "Old man, are you still here? Sol and the others are looking for you everywhere, it is about time to go to the Great Hall. The celebration is about to begin, and you still have to go and host the firework activation ceremony. "

  Callio's voice was loud, like a series of gunshots. He shook his head and laughed, "Old friend, do you think our bodies and brains have become dull after our peace for so long? We have forgotten the cruelty of war, so we use the beautiful illusion to numb ourselves? "

  Callio frowned: "Don't talk to me like a poet. What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly have so many thoughts? "

  "The bystanders that were returning were attacked." Ben turned and said lightly.

  Callio's expression changed, he took down the cigar in his mouth and asked: Who did it?

  "I asked Zero. The ones attacking them are just small fries. They should be testing their strength."

  "Could it be Ogg's men?"

  Ben shook his head. "I don't think so. If it was Ogg, he would have been close enough to send out a high-ranking Blood Cavalry strike." You should know him. Og never does anything superfluous. For example, if we were to test this method, he would be disdainful, and would not try to do so. "

  Callio clenched his fist, and then loosened his grip, causing the cigar to turn into ash. "I got it, what you mean is, the people who attacked Zero were from Asgard. Who could it be? Herben's family? Black Rose Home or the Planning Family? "

  Ben sat on the big chair and shook his head. "It's not like Three Wealthy Classes, because there's no reason. Even if they did great work this time, getting promoted to Holy Spirit according to the plans would not affect them. Moreover, warriors with military merits like Ling Chen and Ling Xiaozui were the targets for them to recruit. To them, assassinating a zero is a hundred times more harmful than doing nothing. "

  "Only the members of our military are left?" "But the rest of us …" Callio hesitated.

  "I still remember the last time that Ling Chen and the others graduated and were sent over, but we didn't notice anything. And that false order from headquarters? " Ben's eyes flashed with a cold light. "That's why we're all old, you know, and that old fellow Paulo. We're all getting slow. Of course there's no problem with the rest of us, but the problem is that there's not only you guys at the headquarters, there's also a group of young people active. "

  Callio's expression changed, and he cried out involuntarily: "You suspect Sol and the others? "But they..."

  "I've lived in the Asgard since I was young. I know, but old friends, people change. Moreover, young people were prone to impulsiveness. If you are impulsive, you will inevitably do something wrong. " Ben rotated a golden ring on his index finger and said faintly, "Amongst the few of them, the only one that we can trust right now is that child Valkyrie. As for the others, old friend, you will investigate them for me. "No matter who it is, let me know that they have done something wrong and I will teach them a lesson that will be hard to remember for the rest of their lives!"

  Callio lowered his head. But Callio knew, that this Hall of Heroic Spirits's founder was not a bad old man. Back then during the great battle, he was not as lively on the battlefield as Callio and Paulo were. However, he, who was in charge of the battle from the rear, was the opponent that Ogrellok feared the most.

  When he gave the order to investigate his adopted son, Callio seemed to have seen his former comrade called "Falcon" come to life.

  While the dark clouds were surging in the Twelve Sovereigns' Halls, Zero was busy in the apartment. Although it had not been announced yet, but before he and the others came back, he had already decided to advance from warrior to Holy Spirit.

  In Asgard, he was already a member of the upper middle class. This meant that Zero could own a piece of the Asgard's territory and could set up his own personal guard. His rights and interests would be protected by the laws of the Asgard and he would have the right to kill other commoners.

  The most obvious benefit of advancement was that Hammer of Destruction's small dorm room was replaced with a three-storey apartment, which had two maids inside.

  This was the first real house of Zero in Asgard, and it retained its personal rights while Zero was still alive. Until Zero Nature dies of old age or war, the Asgard will take back this apartment and hand it over to the second person who is qualified to live here.

  After Zero was sent to the apartment, he was urged to change his clothes and take a bath. Tonight, he and the others would be participating in the Asgard's High Class Night Banquet. From his attire to his etiquette, he was not allowed to be careless. For this, was ordered to prepare everything for zero.

  Therefore, Valkyrie called over an old man and a woman. The old man was an expert in etiquette. He was responsible for designing all the etiquette gestures and expressions that Zero could use tonight. The woman, on the other hand, was a master tailor. She directly brought a set of formal attire for Zero, and was prepared to use this set of etiquette as a model after taking a bath.

  As for himself, he was currently being bathed by two young and pretty maids.

  Zero wasn't used to people wiping their bodies when they even bathed, especially when the two girls were naked. He couldn't help but come into physical contact with her, making the two girls' hearts beat faster.

  As zero maids, if Zero wanted them, they had no right to fight back. Or perhaps, to someone as young and powerful as Zero, they had no intention of resisting. If Zero was happy and let them become the mistress of this apartment, then they could say goodbye to their status as slaves and at least have the rights to be free people.

  This was the fate of those without the ability. The appearance of those with the ability to do so cruelly widened the distance between classes. Under the power of the capable, ordinary people did not have any so-called democracy. Even if they did, it was because of the charity of the capable.

  Just like now, the two girls not only carefully wiped away Zero's body, but they also accidentally touched it with their young body. Of course, it was impossible for Zero to spend his time on them. But after the party, he still had a lot of time, didn't he?

  Under such enticing harassment, when Zero returned to the bedroom in his bathrobe, the tent was still raised, causing the tailor to whistle. This was even more unbearable than letting Zero to face Yimir. What made Zero more uncomfortable was that the old lady glared at him and said, "Take off your bathrobe!"

  Zero immediately opened his eyes wide. He was even a little angry.

  The old woman said disdainfully, "Hurry up, child. We are in a hurry. "Besides, you guys only have that thing that's special. Do you think I, Youlan, have seen too little of it?"

  Upon hearing these words, Zero immediately became breathless. He took off his bathrobe, revealing a perfect body that could make a woman scream.

  Chapter 356 - Night Dinner (II)

  The long black RV drove slowly through the city. On this night, the Asgard was bustling with noise and excitement. Almost all the electricity was supplied to the huge mountainous city, making the outside walls of every tall building shine with a variety of lights. This would never have happened under normal circumstances, even if Asgard had a few large power stations, he wouldn't be able to supply the city with electricity continuously throughout the day. Thus, in normal times, at night, the city would conduct regional peak electricity, and the outer regions would even stop supplying any electricity.

  Only tonight was special.

  Zero sat in the van. Opposite him sat an old man in a black suit. The old man was a master who was specially invited by Valkyrie to conduct temporary etiquette training. He was born into a noble family and had inherited a complete set of etiquette from the old era. He was lecturing Dummy on how to behave at a party, from the distance of conversation to the handshake when he left, from the different etiquette of men and women to the details of what to do with dinner.

  In order to remember these things, nearly half the neural memory centers were open to record the Old Man
's words, and he himself was staring absently at the world outside the car.

  The main road of the Asgard could only be described as crowded with cars. These cars all had different designs on them, and each pattern represented a certain clan in Asgard's upper class society. But from what Zero knew, there were only three families that could truly be considered Wealthy in Asgard.

  They were the Herben's family, the Black Rose Family and the Planning family. Whether it was the politics or the shopping mall, the Three Wealthy Classes occupied an important position within the Asgard. Even the Twelve Sovereigns' Halls could not ignore their voices. And on this path, they wouldn't be able to see Three Wealthy Classes at all, because they possessed a special road.

  The road that was dedicated to them had made them different from the ordinary nobles. It had also widened the gap between the ordinary nobles and the real Wealthy Classes.

  This sort of knowledge was something that Zero had just learned. It originated from the mouth of a master of etiquette. Not only was the old geezer familiar with the social etiquette of the old era, he was also extremely familiar with the political power of the Asgard. Of course, he was not able to give Zero a complete set of lessons, but a general explanation was still possible. Among them, he was able to pay attention to the people in the Three Wealthy Classes, and tell him all the characteristics, habits, and so on and on.

  Just then, a "peng" sound came from outside the carriage, followed by a myriad of lights exploding in the sky above Asgard. That was a firework, but it was not made from gunpowder. It was an energy flame released by someone with the power of the Elemental Su.

  Opening the car window, he stuck his head out and saw countless fireworks exploding in the sky. They quickly formed the symbol of the Hall of Heroic Spirits, and gradually faded away. This was the prelude to the fireworks display. Soon after, balls of fireworks began to appear in the night sky. They fluctuate in a variety of patterns, such as blooming flowers, competing with each other, reflecting the city bathed in a different light.
